BILL How did you handle it? I would have yelled, "All Right!!" and said it didn't happen very often that people left house warming gifts. That way they feel less horrible about cleaning out someone else's leavings.

Good suggestion. Oddly enough, I moved into my own home 26 years ago. For at least half those years, I had looked for an old Vietnam War era POW-MIA bracelet that I wore for a number of years during the 1970s. I wanted to show it to my kids. The years wore on, I couldn't locate it in the usual places I thought it was (either my jewelry box, or the cedar chest).

Then just last week, I opened up a little box in the garage, and voila' - there in the bottom under some other memorabilia, it dwelled. I'm certain it had been in that same spot for the last 26 years.

DUANE It's probably best if you take a look at mine to see if anything looks unusual. <script src="http://pub.mybloglog.com/comm3.php?mblID=2008080613384712&amp;r=widget&amp;is=normal&amp;o=l&amp;ro=4&amp;cs=red&amp;ww=220&amp;wc=multiple"></script>
